Which tribunal is associated with social benefits matters?

• A. Licence Appeal Tribunal
• B. Social Benefits Tribunal
• C. Ontario Labour Relations Board
• D. Local Planning Appeal Tribunal

Answer: (B)

This question tests which tribunal handles social benefits matters. The Social Benefits Tribunal is the body that hears appeals and reviews decisions about social assistance programs, such as Ontario Works and the Ontario Disability Support Program, as well as other social benefits matters under provincial laws. This makes it the appropriate forum for challenges to benefit decisions. The other tribunals have different focuses: licensing decisions go to the Licence Appeal Tribunal, labor relations issues to the Ontario Labour Relations Board, and planning or land-use disputes to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal. So, for social benefits concerns, the Social Benefits Tribunal is the right choice.
